I just found out about fish shell a few moments ago. I switched Konsole on KDE to use it instead of bash and am impressed so far. Might install it on the Pihole eventually. Good stuff, just wanted to share. :)

    since I switched to NixOS I’m finding this out now. Prior to this every Distro I was on I used zsh/oh my zsh because I’m a dummy and need the autosuggestions, autocomplete, syntax highlighting etc and it was quick, no issues.

    Now that i’m on Nix zsh is slow to get to a prompt. logging in via tty takes 2-5 seconds to hit a prompt, in a terminal about the same. maybe I set up my nix config wrong, I don’t know. I’m only loading those three pluggins and I’ve boiled it down to the autosuggestions and or autocomplete.

    It might just be a conflict with NixOS’ auto suggestsions/complete thing (likely is) but if Fish or Nushell has the same 3 features I need because, again, i’m a dummy then I’d happily switch.
